Luciano Ferrara's Berlin Wall Photos on View in Naples
Photographs by Luciano Ferrara documenting the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 are on display at the Cappella Palatina in Castel Nuovo, Naples. The exhibition, titled “BERLINO 1989 – Frammenti di Muro – Persone” and conceived by tribunali 138, runs until December 1. It is promoted by the city’s Assessorato alla Cultura e al Turismo and the Goethe-Institut Napoli. Ferrara’s images capture the faces and emotions of people on the night of November 9, 1989, when Gunter Schabowski, media spokesperson for the Central Committee of the DDR, announced that borders were open. The show marks the 30th anniversary of the event, serving both as a tribute and a warning against rising hostilities.
